* [[Adaptation Displacement]] - ''Herbert West: Reanimator'' was written in 1921 and 1922. The movie has almost completely supplanted it in popular culture.

* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Why the Bride was instantly fond of Dan. While on the surface it could be because she had {{Spoiler| Meg's Heart.}} There is an alternate interpretation. In the beginning of the movie, Dan was taking care of a sick patient named Gloria who served as the Bride's head later on.

Combining her head with {{Spoiler| Meg's heart}} may have enhanced those feelings due to {{Spoiler|Meg's love for Dan.}}

** Was Rufus the cat intending to attack Dan when he jumped at him or was he trying to find comfort remembering his former owner, before Dan killed him?

Which leads this troper to believe that in his last moments, Rufus whom was being attacked by Dan and Herbert in an attempt to flush him out; was scared and trying to leap into Dan's arms in one last attempt at comfort before Dan threw him against the wall, killing him.

* [[Complete Monster]]: Even though Hill was a horrible person, the Warden in ''Beyond'' takes things one step further.

* [[Crazy Awesome]] - Dr. West
